Skype with a Scientist

 

Second and third graders had the opportunity to meet a primatologist from the University of Kent, via Skype. The scientist addressed her work with chimpanzees, the rain forest, and how she conducts her work as a scientist. She spoke of her love of animals and the outdoors at a young age, instilling that no matter what your interests – you can become a scientist! This meeting, which enthralled the children, allowed them to experience science in a very positive and personal way.
